Nobody has anything to say, do you?

During the past 3 weeks we’ve been teaching a workshop inspired by old school video games. The idea behind the workshop was to modify an Atari 2600′s video games adding a simple twist to it. It could be by changing part of the playability of the game or by using other inputs than just buttons.

The students came up with 3 final pieces: Barreño, Beatlaw and Indy 501. Please visit the workshop website to play them, download the source code or get more info about the workshop process of work.

This workshop was created by Aer Studio for IDAT, with Cristobal Castilla and David Dalmazzo as tutors

Nobody has anything to say, do you?


With the purpose of teaching the fundamentals of hyper-textual story telling, Catalina Pérez and us created Continuidad de los pixeles, a practical workshop for Univ. Caldas’ Maestría en Diseño y Creación Interactiva.

We worked intensively with 30 students during 3 full days in order to conceptualize and create modular stories built using Flickr photos and Twitter tweets. The result was an interactive application made in Processing that allow the users to navigate the stories and interpret them in many different ways.

Someone has said something, do you?

The prestigious newspaper El Heraldo (in which Gabriel García Márquez worked as a journalist around the 50′s) published an article about the workshop that we taught at Universidad del Norte in Barranquilla.

@JavierTuiran from the newspaper had a brief interview with Cristobal about the workshop and his vision of the use of technology nowadays. If you are interested in reading RitMotion: evolución del arte al ritmo de la tecnología, please follow the link.

Aer Studio was invited once again to teach a workshop about interaction design at the Universidad del Norte in Barranquilla, Colombia. This time we worked around the topic of creating visual atmospheres that react to music. The students got into the role of VJs and made a set of visuals that were controlled using a Nintendo Wiimote.

We worked during 1 week with 20 students that came from different backgrounds: graphic designers, system engineers and musicians. This multitalented group of people gave the workshop a great level both visual and technical.

We would like to thanks Universidad del Norte, System Engineering department, León Mejia from Graphic Design deparment and specially the organizer, Marlem Uribe from the Biblioteca Karl. C. Parrish, for giving us the opportunity to participate in this great activity one more year.

Note: we used a blog during the workshop days to keep record of the process we did, and the references we watched and talked about. You can read it at virtualizarteuninorte2011.wordpress.com
